Scrathing Space

Hello Bloggers,

Last week Mr Hing Windsor's flat mate, Ella came in and tought us how to make our scratch art.

Firstly we had to have a brown piece of cardboard and colour it in with pastel patterns. Before we put on the black paint we had to design our scratch. After that we got our rollers and rolled on the black paint. one thing to remember once you have put the black paint on is to do the scratch straight away when it's still wet. Here is a picture of my art:

My one turned out pretty well. 

Next time I think I will put in more designs.

LEGO workshop!

 Fakalofa lahi atu bloggers,

 On the 18th of November my class walked over to the hall to have heaps of fun doing LEGO. There were six tables with lego on them to make creations that might be able to go on the display table. 

The first table I went to was the space station creations. We got to make our on 'getting ready in space' area. the in about 5 minutes my group rotated to the stars table. Here, we got to create our own LEGO star! My one looked really cool.

Paige and Dustine's LEGO creations were also super amazing (they were in my team).  After those two tables we got to choose which table we went to. Paige and I went to the landscape table where we carryed on on of the others creations. we made a bridge and a tree and even more!

I really enjoyed it and I hope others did to.

Production Dance

Our school, Waikowhai Primary has a production that we perform every two years. On the first week of November we held our five performances of Jasmine and Aladdin at Waikowhai Intermediate. All the classes had an item that they would perform. Our song was called Wipe Out. 

My class was lining up and getting ready to go up on stage. I felt nervous and exited at the same time. Then we started moving, here we go! As I walked up the steps I looked at all the people watching me. The music started and everyone started to cheer. We were all dancing like crazy. When the song stopped we posed with our feet apart and hands by our sides. I said in my head "I'm glad thats over" but also I felt proud. Then we bowed and walked off the stage.

Blog you later!

The Great Athletics Day

On the 27th of October the whole school had the amazing, the wonderful... Athletics day! We rotated around in groups. I was in the 8 year old girls group, even though I’m nine. They count it by how old you were on the 1st of October. My group rotated together for 10 activities. Some of them we didn’t do because there were 14 activities altogether. That means there were four activities we didn't do because we ran out of time.

My group started at high jump and then rotated round to the hurdles and so on. My favourite activity was the team building with Mr Hing-Windsor, even though we only got one quarter of the way through the game. I don't normally like Athletics day very much but this one was pretty good. Here's a photo of me in the sprints.

My Pa

Kia Ora bloggers,

This week me and my class were creating a Pa either on a google drawing or on Tinkercad. I chose to add lots of detail on the google drawing. The Pa had to have a Wharenui (main house), a Wharemoe (sleeping house), a Wharekai (food house), Fences, Watchtowers, Kumara pits, and Trenches. A Pa has to be built on a Mountain so that you can keep safe from enemies. Anyway... click on the link to see the DLO of my Pa. See you later bloggers!😀

ANZAC biscuits with a friend

Kia ora bloggers,

Last Thursday me and my friend Anna made ANZAC biscuits together via face time.

So here is a picture of the finished biscuits:

Egg Carton Poppies

Fakalofa lahi atu bloggers,
Me and my mum made these little poppies that used; egg cartons, pipe cleaners and paper.

First we cut out the right shape for the poppies. Next we painted them and left it to dry overnight. The next morning mum put two holes opposite each other through the bottom of the egg carton and I put the pipe cleaner through, twisted it over and back through the other hole. We then stuck the black paper circles in the middle of the painted egg carton with a pipe cleaner. Just for decoration we made little loops in the pipe cleaner so it looked like it had small leaves.

Here are some pictures of them:

 

My Marble Run Movie

Fakkalofa lahi atu bloggers,
Me and my dad made a crazy marble run. We used lots of different equipment to make it amazing, pool noodles, tubes, funnels, chairs & stools, trays & chocolate bunnys! yum yum!

How I made the Marble Run & the Movie:

First we constructed the marble run, then dad helped me make the movie.
To make the movie we used lots of different videos and put them into the app called "Imovie" we cut and copied and pasted them in the right order.

Here is the video of "My Marble Run Movie":
